Re: Re: Mystery fans.....Ceropegia

I had no idea! I just love Rosary vine, and Home Depot stocks it. I can
see it in my future even as I type the words...

Zem, if you are a fan of Hoya, you'll enjoy Ceropegia. Most are familiar
with the common C. woodii (Rosary vine) that has truly insignificant
flowers....but there are some Ceropegias that really have quite large
blooms, some that
really look like little parachutes, some with fringes (cilia) to trap the
insect once it is caught. Quite interesting different types of foliage
too,
most are succulent, some are even shrubs. Quite an interesting genus.
